Severe Weather in the Netherlands

http://www.amsterdam.info/netherlands/geography/

          The Netherlands is not really known for extreme natural disasters; however, the Netherlands constantly is at threat from sea storms and flooding. These storms and floods have caused catastrophic events in the early history of the Netherlands but with the impressive systems of dykes and huge pumping stations, the people of the Netherlands have been able to defend themselves against the flooding.

          The Netherlands do have some tornadoes that affect the nation as well as severe coastal storms. In November 2013, at least 4 tornadoes were reported and were believe to be at a EF-1 level which can cause moderate damage but are considered weak. The Netherlands do have a fair share of tornadoes per year although most of them are within the EF-1 level.

          I found a video of the destruction of a Dutch town in Hollands back in the year 1925. It shows the extreme nature of the powerful storms that are rare but deadly in the Netherlands. It is pretty crazy to see how much damage that these cyclones can do in such a short time.
